Pre-Connectorized FTTH Network Overview

Hub Box Interface: Terminates the feeder cable and provides a pre-connectorized output for 5.0mm round cables; uses 2*5mm flat drop cables.
Scalable Cascade: The 1x8 Hub Box enables easy deployment of a network cascading up to eight 1:8 Sub Boxes.
Cost-Effective Deployment: Plug-and-play design with only one splice point slashes both OPEX and CAPEX.
Pre-connectorized FTTH ODN Solution
Spring's pre-terminated fiber cables and unequal ratio splitters simplify deployment and enhance network performance, supporting splitter ratios of 1:64 or 1:128.


Optical Fiber Configuration
The network employs a single-fiber cascading topology. Each asymmetric optical chain consists of three FAT boxes (with a 1:9 splitting ratio) and one END box (with a 1:8 splitting ratio), supporting a total of 32 subscribers.
Waterproof Adapter Compatibility
This solution is compatible with waterproof adapters from multiple vendors, such as Huawei, Furukawa, FiberHome, and traditional types.
Only the Huawei compatible type is illustrated in this Fast Connector Solution diagram.

Hub Box – Primary Splitting Point

The Hub Box is typically deployed at the aggregation node in a fiber optic network. It serves as the primary signal distribution point, splitting optical signals from the backbone cable into multiple downstream paths for further distribution.

Sub Box – Secondary Distribution Point

Acting as an intermediate node between the Hub Box and the End Box, the Sub Box further divides the optical signals from the aggregation layer and directs them toward specific user groups or localized areas.

Pre-connectorized Distribution Cable – Inter-node Connectivity
This refers to a distribution cable that is pre-terminated with fiber optic connectors at both ends. Designed for rapid deployment, it enables fast and reliable connections between distribution nodes, such as from Hub Box to Sub Box, or between multiple Sub Boxes.

Pre-connectorized Drop Cable
Featuring factory-preterminated connectors on one or both ends, this drop cable is utilized for the final connection to the customer. It enables a fast and reliable plug-and-play installation from a branch point (e.g., Sub Box) to the user's home, eliminating field termination and ensuring consistent performance.
